After suffering their defeat in TakeOver: WarGames’ eponymous main event, it seemed that The Undisputed ERA’s title reigns might be running on borrowed time. But in the case of the NXT Tag Team Championships at least, they found a way to flip the hourglass Wednesday — even in the face of injury.
The Undisputed ERA retained their titles against the team of Keith Lee & Dominik Dijakovic, despite Roderick Strong needing to step into the match early on as an injury replacement for Bobby Fish.
Lee & Dijakovic brought the Full Sail crowd to their feet later with a scintillating sequence. First, Dijakovic toppled both Strong & O’Reilly at ringside with an awe-inspiring springboard senton from the top rope.
That action drew Adam Cole down the ramp moments later, but he was blindsided by a shoulder block from Lee that sent The Panama City Playboy soaring over the barricade into a group of fans.
With both The Limitless Superstar and Dijakovic shocked by the spectacle in front of them, Strong & O’Reilly were able to gather their bearings and take down The Rare Breed back in the ring with a lightning-quick high-low combination for the victory.
Though the events certainly diverged from The Undisputed ERA’s blueprint for victory, they once again left no doubt about their championship mettle.
